KANCHANABURI, 2025
Khemjira…
Sir,
that wasn't nice, you know.
Someone could get hurt.
Heading home?
Aren't you working early tomorrow?
UBON RATCHATHANI, 2010
Wait here, okay?
Hello, Grand Master Sek.
You haven't gotten any better?
I'm getting worse day by day,
but Khem is getting even worse.
Then, get him upstairs now.
Okay.
Khem!
Run away!
Go!
Hey!
Are you all right?
Kid!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Kid!
Hey!
Khem,
are you hurt, sweetie?
What about the puppy?
Where is it now?
It's safe.
I thought that ghost would've eaten it.
Khem,
you saw a ghost again?
What's wrong with me, Mom?
Am I sick?
Khem.
Do you remember asking me
why your name, Khemjira, sounds like a girl's name?
My family is cursed.
Every male offspring must die violently and unnaturally
before turning 21.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I didn't expect it to be this bad.
Am I dying, Mom?
That's why we're here to get help.
Thank you for saving me, Grand Master.
Don't worry.
I'll cast a spell on you.
And after that,
you won't see any more ghosts,
okay?
Can we not do that?
Why not?
Aren't you scared of them?
If your spell works,
when Mom's gone,
I won't get to see her anymore.
If life gets harder
and tougher for you,
are you okay with that?
Yes.
Always keep this with you.
Protect it with your life.
Since you've chosen to see ghosts,
you'll also need to know how to defend yourself from them,
okay?
UBON RATCHATHANI, 2025
WELCOME, MP BANJERD NAKARNKOON, TO BAAN NONG SIN
-Hello, sir. -Hi.
Thank you so much
for the new road to the temple.
It's so much easier to get around now.
I'm just doing my job.
That's nice.
Everyone,
the MP will install solar panels in our village soon.
-Really? -Yes, soon!
That's fantastic, sir!
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Come on here!
-Join us for some dancing. -Come on.
-You're all so healthy. -Let's dance.
-Yeah, like that! -Wow, everyone's so strong.
Come on, young ladies.
You can trust me.
-All right, let's have some fun. -We are.
-Dance to welcome the MP. -Let's dance.
Jet!
Yes, Dad?
Didn't I tell you to go see your master?
I'm about to.
The music's just so exciting
that my hips can't stop moving.
Just go,
-or I'll make you stop moving. -I'm off now.
Should be there soon!
Get going already.
All right, let's have some fun.
Have fun!
-Vote for me next time. -Let's dance.
-Okay. -Come on.
KHEM: CALL ME BACK MISSED CALL
You usually just see them.
But this one attacked you first?
He looked like he had lost his mind,
like he had just flipped out.
Even the amulet couldn't protect you?
I barely made it.
I had to recite the spell for so long.
Is it because of your curse?
I'm on my way to see my master.
I'll ask for his help.
Thanks, Jet.
Let me know what he says.
You're going to Bangkok tomorrow, right?
Have you told your father yet?
I'm about to.
See you tomorrow.
I came to say goodbye.
Wish me luck.
How funny.
I keep seeing ghosts everywhere.
And yet, Mom,
you never came to see me.
Everything happens for a reason, Khem.
Are you…
struggling with anything lately?
Things are getting worse, aren't they?
I can sense it.
Whatever you do, stay mindful and careful.
If it gets too hard to bear, come back here.
You're almost 21 now.
Things are only getting worse.
I'll be careful, Father.
Please continue to protect him, Khae.
I'M AT MY DORM NOW.
Go help!
That was close.
Jet?
Why are you here?
I was worried about you,
so I came here as soon as I arrived.
Are you all right, boys?
That almost hit my friend's head.
Be more careful.
I swear I put it down flat on the floor,
and the lid was closed tight.
We were both holding onto the ladder.
I honestly don't know how it fell.
Forget about it.
What the hell?
How could it fall if it was on the floor?
And the rail is way too high.
Must've been a ghost then.
Come on, Jet.
No use stressing.
Let's get something cold.
It's on me.
How was this one?
Not as crazy as the last, right?
Yeah.
She just looked at me.
Maybe she knew I could see her.
I wish I could see them like you,
so I could help.
Here.
A talisman from Master Paran.
The OG shaman in Ubon Ratchathani.
You're lucky I'm his number one disciple.
Master Paran…
The one you asked to read my birth chart?
What did he say?
"Khemjira…
Chandrapisut.
Born on June sixth."
How is it, Master?
Let your friend know
he'd better hurry and do what he wants.
He has six months
until he dies.
Dies? It's that serious?
But…
is there nothing you can do?
Haven't I told you?
I don't mess with anyone's…
karma.
Craving something cold, right?
Cheng sim ei, shaved ice, bingsu, or ice cream?
What do you want?
You can't fool me.
What's up with my fate?
Why are you avoiding it?
I already knew.
In six months,
I'll turn 21.
Forget it.
Come on,
don't give up just yet.
I'm sure
there's gotta be a way to break that curse.
I'm not giving up.
I'm just bracing myself.
Every meeting
leads to a parting.
The bas-relief sculptures around the base of the Democracy Monument
were created by Professor Silpa Bhirasri.
The monument was commissioned in 1939.
These eight panels
depict stories and ways of life
following the revolution.
The monument has four wings,
each spaced 24 meters apart,
symbolizing the date of the revolution,
June 24, 1932.
The focal point of the monument includes a turret
with six doors.
There are many more details…
Student,
are you okay?
Your time has come.
-Your time has come. -Hey!
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
The Democracy Monument symbolizes
progress and the future.
All the roads
extend from Ratchadamnoen Avenue
and lead to different provinces,
as we can see.
You wouldn't be of any help.
You'd be dozing off the entire class.
That's not funny, bro.
It started in Kan, then your dorm.
Now it's even on campus?
It's like the curse is trying to break you down.
I'm really worried about you.
Why don't you crash at my place for a while?
If anything happens, I'll be there.
You're still with me?
Hey, Khem.
-Khem. -Give me a sec.
I gotta go.
Hey, I'm Khem.
I live just across the hall.
Have you eaten yet?
Garlic pork with a fried egg.
It looks seriously tasty.
Wanna try some?
-Let go! -Come here.
-I said let go! -Come!
He's my son.
Why are you recording?
-Take him! -You called the police, right?
Hey!
Come on.
-Let go of me! -Come with us.
-Let's have a chat. -Let go!
-What are you looking at? -Come on!
-Go -Just go!
You'll regret this.
How funny.
I keep seeing ghosts everywhere.
And yet, Mom,
you never came to see me.
Help me, Khem.
Khem, help me.
Help me, Khem.
Khem!
This is seriously messed up.
My master's talisman normally lasts a year.
You're staying at my place tonight.
If something happens,
I can help you.
-I'm okay. -I'm not asking.
I'm telling you.
How am I supposed to live without you?
Jane,
-Khem is staying-- -Go ahead.
Hello.
Have you eaten…
Leave her alone for now.
Probably stuck on revising her project.
Come on.
Let's go.
What?
I was almost done.
Khem.
-Mom? -Khem…
Help me.
Khem.
-Help me. -Mom?
Help me, Khem.
Why always me?
Khem,
please help me.
Jet,
wake up and save Khem.
Please.
Khem.
Come to me.
Khem.
Don't go.
Jet, please save Khem.
Khem, come to me.
Let go.
I'm saving my mom.
Khem.
Khem, come to me.
Khem!
Get a grip.
Wait…
Why am I here?
I don't know.
You almost fell, you know.
No power in the amulet.
The talisman's worn out.
I honestly don't know if I can handle this.
Once the semester ends,
I'm going straight back to see my father.
I'm sorry, Jet.
I won't be joining…
the volunteer camp.
Why are you sorry?
Your life matters the most.
Hey, guys,
listen up.
Put it down.
A storm's hitting the south,
so the uni's concerned about our safety.
Looks like we might have to cancel the camp this break.
-Jeez. -What?
-Why? -Everything's ready.
-Gosh. -All are ready.
What a waste of time.
Hey, leave it to me.
Can't we go somewhere else?
Yeah, right.
It's way too sudden.
Getting approval from the village and sending a new request…
It will take too long.
We can go next year.
What, Jet?
He told us to listen.
I have an idea.
Hey.
Let's go to Ubon.
Ubon Ratchathani?
Well, my friend's been wanting to go there for three years.
Is Jet coming back, Uncle Chai?
That's right, Master.
He called me the other day,
saying he wanted to bring his friends for a volunteer camp here.
He mentioned wanting to stay at your house too.
So…
if I were to move up the ceremony to welcome them,
would that be okay?
I'll find a new date.
Okay.
I'll take my leave then.
Thong, Jet's coming back this break!
I know that already.
I was with you.
Master,
can you remove the spell blocking Jet's sight this time?
We wanna play with him again.
-Please. -Please.
Yeah, like that. Exactly.
Lower your lips and puff your cheeks.
Yeah.
Now frown.
Sob too.
I really have no choice.
Please,
can you…
help me,
Master?
Master or not,
even a heart of steel
would melt in front of this.
What are you staring at, Charn?
Who do you like?
Khem or Jet?
No. It's not like that.
I mean,
is there something weird about those two?
Come on, you missed last year's camp. You wouldn't know them.
They're really nice.
Especially Jet, he's hilarious.
What's weird about them?
Charn, check this out.
Have you been to Ubon?
Look, there are seven recommended dishes there.
Sausages, noodle soup.
-You're in my way. -Wanna try?
-Move. -Sit here.
Ouch.
-Are you okay, Prae? -It really hurts, babe.
-Too much love. -What's your problem?
You guys fighting?
Love is gross.
All right, since you're all here, let's hit the road.
You think it's okay?
Dance harder, come on!
Here we go.
I look stunning here.
Hey, why are we taking this route?
It's a shortcut.
Our driver wants to hurry.
But this is…
What's wrong with this route?
Jet.
What?
Guys.
What?
What's happening, Jet?
I knew it.
This route is full of spirits.
My master warned me not to take it.
We're in really deep shit.
They're everywhere.
There's so much evil energy.
Do restless spirits usually haunt people this closely, Jet?
This is not usual.
You're leaving? Why not chant them away?
We can't. There are too many.
Let's just drive.
Sir. Hey.
Sir, wake up.
Sir,
come on. Wake up.
Hey, what are you doing?
They're only after me, right?
There's no point.
Stop that.
Let me go.
Master!
I knew it!
If I, your number one disciple, got in trouble,
you would come to help, no matter where I might be.
Thank you…
Why are you here in spirit form?
Something's up at the village.
Hurry and wake the driver.
Make sure you get there before dark.
What?
Hurry, Master.
Chompoo's probably gone crazy already.
Chompoo!
-Chompoo! -Stay away!
Chompoo…
Let me go!
I said to let go! Go away!
-Just leave me alone! -What's going on? Let's see.
-Let go of me! -Chompoo!
-Keep her down. -Piss off!
-What are they doing? -Let go!
It's an exorcism.
Come on.
Chompoo!
Chompoo…
Go! Right here.
Piss off!
-Go away! -Hey,
-don't let her. -Hurry.
-Come on. -Go away!
-What's wrong with you? -Don't move.
Come on, help us.
-Tie it firmly. -Piss off.
I'm getting chills.
-You scared? -I gotta shit.
-Let me go! -Asshole.
Stay out of this.
This body belongs to me now.
What did she do to you?
Don't take on more karma.
I won't.
I've loved her since I was alive.
Even in death,
I'm not leaving her ever!
-Chompoo… -Just let go.
Mom…
Set the one you love free so she can be happy.
Come on.
Take her there.
-Together. -All right.
Slowly. Be careful.
-Take it easy, sweetie. -Take the bag.
The tray too.
Keep your face up.
This is my friend, Khemjira.
Hello, Master…
My face must be worn out by now.
If you're staying with me,
get there before dark.
Okay.
What's up with you?
We even practiced that on the bus.
Follow him, guys.
-Is that heavy? -Get their beds ready.
-Okay. -Let me help.
All right.
-Let's go. -This one.
-We gotta hurry. -Hello.
You can share a room with us.
Yeah, okay.
-That's dope. -Let's do that, bro.
-I just saw… -Who said that?
Hey,
you're staring at them again.
What's got you wondering?
Where are they going?
Aren't you curious too?
I mean…
Didn't you see them talking to that shaman?
Exactly.
He insisted that everyone come here.
Right when we arrived,
there was an exorcism.
It feels like they set us up to join some kind of cult.
Isn't that a bit suspicious?
Come on, Charn.
You've been watching too many movies. Chill out.
Why bother worrying about them?
It's pretty far.
Right here.
They're here.
-Jet. -Jet!
Dotty.
Come on.
-He has a dog? -Come here.
-Come to me. -Dotty.
Come on.
What?
What the heck?
-You know each other? -Baby Dotty.
Paw.
Good girl.
So clever.
Go away.
You're not welcome here.
What, Master?
You told us to come.
If we're not welcome,
we should just leave.
So it is you.
Get out of here.
That guy just now…
Do you know him, Master?
Show your friend to the room.
Whatever you need, help yourself.
We need to talk tonight.
Okay.
Come on.
Jet,
is Master always this cold?
Well…
No.
He's usually worse than this.
This is soft.
But don't worry.
He might look cold,
but if someone's in trouble,
he always helps.
I feel like I'm a burden.
I should've…
never come here in the first place.
Come on, you're not a burden.
Get some sleep.
Hey, where are you going?
To face my karma.
Haven't been beaten in so long.
I miss the good old days.
How about another one?
You just never listen to me.
I told you to stay out of it.
Well…
Khem's a good guy.
When I first met him,
it felt like…
we'd known each other forever.
By the way,
that spirit you drove away…
Was he Khem's karmic enemy?
No.
Now,
remember those frenzied spirits?
His true karmic enemy
has the power to control them all.
It's gone this far.
You still want to help him?
Yes.
I stand by my words.
Please help him, Master.
If you don't,
I'm leaking your number.
I won't promise I can save him.
You'd better go keep him safe.
The night's far from over.
Master seems to care about Khem though.
Didn't he say he wouldn't…
We'd better be ready too.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
He's on his way.
-He's here. -That's him.
Here he is.
-Hey. -Mister.
Is everyone here?
-Yeah, Mister. -Yes.
-Let's go. -Okay.
-All right. -Go.
Everyone, are you ready?
-Yes. -We are.
Let's do it.
They're here.
Are you looking for me?
What has he done to you?
Can't you just let him go?
I shall never let him go.
This is Charn,
also a junior.
This is Jet, my best friend.
We've passed this bamboo grove over and over.
My duty
is to take care of this village.
I'll do whatever it takes to stop being an outsider in your eyes. t
